Make Do Mend Crochet Class Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

I have something really special and exciting for you today! Are you ready? Through a string of fortunate events surrounding a broken RSS feed, it has come to be that I have the opportunity to host a fantastically cool and crafty giveaway for a beginner's crochet workshop in London, held on an afternoon in April by the wonderful people of Make Do Mend!

You might remember me gushing about Make Do Mend if you read about my hen do crafternoon and the fun my hens and I had making keepsake bunting flags under the tuition of the lovely Bee. By offering one of my lucky readers a place at the crochet class, it only shows how fabulous the Make Do Menders really are! Can I get an AWESOME?!

In addition to organizing craft parties in London and South East England and selling cute handmade items and haberdashery supplies from their online shop, Make Do Mend run all kinds of different classes, including corsage and bunting making, cupcake workshops and quilting. At their Crochet For Beginners workshop, they will provide a helping hand and all the materials for you to learn the basic crocheting stitches like chain, double and treble crochet and making a crochet circle.

I'm really stoked that Make Do Mend have so generously offered to invite one of you to their crochet class, and I just know that you are going to have such an enjoyable afternoon! You can go and check out the Make Do Mend blog to sneak a peek at what crafty shenanigans they have already been up to in the past. Or maybe you would like to follow them on Twitter to keep up-to-date?

Alas, I hope you are now suitably excited, too?! And wouldn't you like to know what you need to do in order to be in for a chance to win? Well, here goes.
